Across the Paddock Size:XL 000 residents at the peakThe weathered timber residence of Big Hill Post Office sits across an overgrown paddock, its broken windows and collapsing walls recording seventy six years of service to a small Southern Tablelands community. The building opened on 1 November 1869, when the post office function amounted to little more than a kiosk window and a mail slot at the front of a family's home. Part of the Big Hill Post Office series.
